I didn't say it was a childish point to make; I said it was a childish way 
to make it.

You certainly have a point that deciding what usernames are and are not 
acceptable is a very tricky thing. As I'm sure you realise, picking a 
username like [[User:All <insert social/racial group of your choice>s must 
die]] is just not on, but, at the same time, we don't want too many 
restrictions on usernames. That's a fine point to make, but trying to make 
it in the way that you did doesn't do you or your cause any good.

You've done a lot of good work on the Wikipedia, Dan - maybe this is a bit 
of a slip-up, but we all make them. Whatever the outcome of this debate, I 
hope you won't leave.
